A: Structural depiction of short and long chain ceramides within a membrane. Sphingolipids (SL), cholesterol (Ch), phosphatidylcholine (PC). B: Molecular structures of ceramide, sphingomyelin and three examples of short chain ceramides. The short chain ceramides can be identified by a truncated chain which is significantly shorter compared to other.
